Trump's actions are in direct tension with a 1935 ruling that upheld restrictions on the president's ability to remove FTC commissioners without cause.

    I mean, I’m no fan of Roberts nor the current SCOTUS, but this isn’t a ruling on the merits, but a stay on the reinstatement by the lower court.

    Still shitty, just more nuanced than the headline suggested.

      The heritage foundation has been working hard for decades to turn the US into a christo-fascist state.

      Pretty much. A while back they drew a line in the sand over something (can’t remember what) Trump called their bluff, and they quietly reversed themselves to avoid a public confrontation.
